Kishwar Naheed
ye dasht-e-faramoshi Thaharne nahin deta
lekin dar-e-ḳhvahish ko bhi khulne nahin deta
ye rasm hai divar-o-dar-e-girya ki lekin
daryuza-gar-e-ḳhvab to rone nahin deta
ashob hai aisa ki sarasima hai vahshat
ye ijz-e-bayan zaḳhm bhi dhone nahin deta
haan manzil-e-ummid bhi nazdik thi lekin
gham-ḳhana-e-jananan bahalne nahin deta
ankhon men vahi ranj-e-asiri hai musallat
jo hashr bapa hona tha hone nahin deta
be-nam rahi ḳhvahish-e-didar hamesha
shabnam ki tarah vo mujhe hansne nahin deta
angan men lahu dekh ke roti nahin ankhen
ye dil to sulagta hai pa jalne nahin deta
